Every time I think that President Bush has gotten as low as he can, he goes and sets the bar lower.... In an interview recently with Politico.com, which included questions from Yahoo! users, President Bush made a bunch of astounding statements that showed a disconnect with reality that is frightening and despicable and unforgivable, and is the latest piece of evidence to add to the huge pile that he is wholly unfit for office. He claims that a Democrat in the White House will lead to another attack on American soil, which is hilarious considering that the attack on American soil that started this whole mishegoss was on his watch. He claims that "people" told him there were WMDs in Iraq, which as justification for war, is beyond pathetic. ( And then there's the golf thing........... )Recently, in ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) debg's LJ she was discussing Senator Obama and how intensely she dislikes him as a potential president, and one of the things I pointed out was that any problems that anyone might have with Senator Obama and/or Senator Clinton are tiny and insignificant compared to this: Senator McCain is just going to keep doing what President Bush has been doing if he's elected. His voting record, his policies, everything makes that crystal clear, and that will lead this country to disaster. As it is, the next president is going to have to spend most of his or her (and I love that I have to use that construction, BTW) time cleaning up the mess President Bush has made, but I have no faith in a McCain presidency's desire to even try. The notion of President McCain makes me fearful for my life, and I'm not exaggerating. I'm scared for my life right now, because the guy in charge has failed on every possible level. Current Mood:  pissed off

Today, one of terri_osborne's coworkers had surgery. She has no family in the area, so Terri volunteered to pick her up from the hospital and take her home, and I went along, too, as I know the neighborhood she lives in, and there was no guarantee she'd be in any condition to direct the cabbie home (she lives in Inwood, which is off the usual yellow cab's beaten path). She was supposed to get out of recover at 1.30, so of course, she got out at 4.15. *laughs* Luckily, I had a book to read and my Treo (though I finished the book and the battery on my Treo was almost dead ere long). But it was worth it, as Terri's coworker really needed someone to get her home. As I said to Terri, what's the good of being freelance if you can't do stuff like this? Hell, what's the good of being human if you can't do stuff like this? After a 30-minute nap, I went to karate and fighting class. The latter felt better, though I still need to train myself to get my arms up when there's a kick toward my head. I keep ducking, which is entirely the wrong thing to do. *sigh* And in regular class, I still need to work on the part of Pinan kata #5 where you jump in the air and land in a hook stance. There's an adult tournament the last week in June that I intend to participate in, and I'll likely be competing against two advanced brown belts (Dorian and Liza) who are really good. (There's only one other brown belt in the dojo right now, and his attendance is sufficiently sporadic that I doubt he'll enter the tournament.) Also found out in class that the son of one of the black belts is going to be (along with his writing partner) the show-runner on Life on Mars, which was their consolation prize for October Road being cancelled. *laughs* Current Mood:  exhausted
